GEORGE D. OVERIN AND OTTO MEYERS, OF NEW YORK, N. Y.

COMBINATION-TABLE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 321,747, dated July 7,1885.

Application filed July 25, 1884. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that we, GEORGE D. OVERIN and OTTO MEYERs, of the city,county, and State of New York, have invented a new and ImprovedCombination-Table, of which the following is a full, clear, and exactdescription.

This invention consists, principally, of a table having an upper slidingframe and preferably hinged top, and having combined with the main frameof the table a sink, bread-tray, rolling-pin compartment, and bread andchopping board.

The invention also consists in combining with the top of the table asliding ironingboard adapted to be drawn out for use and shoved withinthe table when not in use; and the invention also consists of theconstruction, arrangement, and combination of parts,all as hereinafterdescribed and claimed.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming part ofthis specification, in which similar letters of reference indicatecorresponding parts in all the figures.

Figure 1 is a sectional elevation of our new and improved table, showingthe top shoved to one side and the hinged cover raised to verticalposition, and showing the drainingtray and slop-bucket of the sink inposition for use. Fig. 2 is a plan view of the same, the cover to thebread-box being broken away to show the knife-trays held in thebread-box. Fig. 3 is a side elevation of the table closed and arrangedfor ironing, the front leaf of the table being broken away to show theclasp and groove which hold the top of the table to the frame of thetable; and Fig. 4 is an end elevation of the table as it appears whenentirely closed.

The main table-frame A, which is supported upon the four legs 13, hassecured between the side pieces a a of the frame the parallelcross-pieces b b and the bottom board, 0, which together form thecentral compartment, 0, for receiving a rol1ing-pin or other kitchenutensils. To the inner surface of the end piece d of the frame A issecured the cleat e, and to the adjacent surface of the crosspiece I) issecured the corresponding cleat, e, and upon these cleats is held thesink D, as To the inner surface of the end piece d of the frame A issecured the cleat f, and to the adjacent surface of the cross piece I)is secured the corresponding cleat, f, and upon these cleats f and f isheld the bread-box E, which is provided with the hinged cover E forclosing it, and with the trays E for holding knives, forks, spoons, 850.

The bread-box E and sink D are made removable from the frame A, forconvenience in cleaning them, and the sink D has the opening 9 made init for drawing the water from the sink into the bucket F, the opening 9being adapted to be closed by the plug 9' for retaining the water in thesink while washing the dishes, and the sink is provided with thecorrugated draining tray D, on which the dishes as they are washed maybe placed for draining and drying, the water from the dishes passingback into the sink through the opening h. (Shown in Figs. 1 and 2.) Thedrainer D,when not in use, is adapted to be turned down into the sink D,as shown in dotted lines in Fig. 1, and when in use it is held ininclined position, as shown in full lines in Fig. 1, by means of theside pins, (l d", entering the open slots (1 (1 made in the cleats (1*(1 secured to the end walls of the sink D, as shown clearly in Figs. 1and 2, and one side of the drainer D is provided-with the cleat i, Fig.2, to receive the soapbox G. (Shown in Figs. 1 and 2.)

Upon the frame A of the table is placed the upper sliding frame, H, towhich are hinged the leaves I I and the top J of the table. The frame Hin this instance is composed of the corner pieces, j side pieces j j,and end pieces k k. The side pieces j j each have a groove, Z, made inits outer surface to receive the point of a hook, on, secured to theouter surface of each of the side pieces, a, of the frame A in thecenter of the length of the side pieces, a, which hooks and grooves holdthe sliding frame H in place upon the frame A, and permit the frame H tobe moved 1ongitudinally upon the frame A in both direc tions 0. distanceequal to about one-half of the length of the frame H, the shoulders 02.,Fig. 3, made at the corners of the frame H, serving as stops to comeagainst the hooks m to prevent the I00 frame H from being moved too far.The side pieces, j j, have each an anti-friction roller, 0, secured atits loweredge,to facilitate the movement of theframe Hupon the frame A,and to preventlateral movement of the frame H upon the frame A we formthe loweredges of the side pieces j with the narrow ribs p p, which runin the grooves 11, formed at the upper ends of the legs B, as shownclearly in Figs. 3 and 4, and for locking the frame H immediately overand in line with the frame Awe provide the end piece lcwith the pivotedbutton q,and the end piece (I of the frame A with th e hook q, withwhich the button (1 is adapted to en gage, as shown in Fig. a.

The leaves I I of the table are adapted to be held in horizontalposition parallel with the top J when opened by supporting-arms I",pivoted in suitable recesses made in the upper edges of the fillingpieccsj j, as shown clearly in Figs. 2 and 3, the shorter ends of whicharms are rabbeted to enter slots 3' in the side pieces and thetop J,being hinged to the frame H, as above stated, is adapted to be raised tothe vertical position, as shown in Figs. 1 and 2, and there held by thehinged brace J to permit free access to the sink D, bread-box E, orcompartment 0, or to the bread-board K, which is held upon thecorresponding cleats r r, secured to the inner surfaces of the sidepiecesjj of the frame H. The board K is adapted to slide upon the cleatsr r, and is formed upon one side with the raised and concaved portion 8which serves as a chopping-bowl for chopping hash, &e., and the saidboard K is adapted to be reversed upon the cleats r r, so that bothsides of the board may be used, the plain side serving as a surface uponwhich bread, &c., may be conveniently cut.

The top J is adapted to beheld in closed position by the spring-bolt t,secured thereto, which is adapted to enter the corresponding recess t,made at one corner of the frame H, as shown in Fig. 2; and the top Jhasthe dovetailed cleats an secured to its lower surface to receive andhold the sliding ironing-board L, as shown clearly in Fig. 1, so thatthe ironingboard may be drawn out to the position sh own in Fig. 3 foruse, whereit will be supported at its outer end by the leg L, (which maybe folded under the board and held bythe button -v,) and at its innerend by the said cleats a and the edge pieces 10 10, secured to the edgesof the board, so as to run upon the said cleats, as shown in Fig. 1.When the board L is forced in between the cleatsa a, it is held fromdropping down by the button 10, and the board L is prevented from beingshoved back too far by the stop-pin w, fitted in the under surface oftop J, as shown in Fig. 1.

Constructed as described, it will be seen that after the table has beenused for eating purposes the top J, the leaves, and the frame H may beshoved along upon the frame A, uncovering the sink D, so that the dishesmay be washed at and immediately from the table.

In setting the table, the top, leaves, andframe H may be shoved uponframe A to uncover the breadbox E, or the covcrJ may be raised for thatpurpose to permit access to the bread box, and knives, forks, spoons,&c., in the trays E; andin baking or cooking, where the board K is to beused, the top J will simply be raised to vertical position, thusuncovering the parts held in the frame A for use. \Vhcn the'ironingboardL is to be used, the top J will of course be closed.

Having thus described our invention, what we claim as new, and desire tosecure by Letters Patent, is-
